Wales

Devolution of income tax to Wales commenced in April 2019. Under this, the three rates applying in England and Northern Ireland are reduced by 10% each, and it is open to the Welsh Assembly to impose their own three rates in each of the basic, higher and additional-rate bands.

However, the Welsh Assembly has decided that the rates will all be 10%, leaving the Welsh rates unchanged from the rates in England and Northern Ireland until after the next Wel;sh Assembly elections in May 2021.

2019 and beyond: England, Wales & Northern Ireland only

Termination payments over £30,000, which are subject to income tax, are also subject to employers NICs. Although this was expected to commence in 2018, it was delayed until 2019.

Income tax will only be applied on the equivalent of an employee's basic pay if the employee has not worked the notice period.
